The Grand Lucayan resort on the Caribbean island of Grand Bahamas has announced that it will be carrying out upgrades and refurbishments over the next few months. Tourists can currently choose between all inclusive Bahamas holidays or room-only breaks at the beachfront hotel after the resort launched an all inclusive option for tourists last year.

"We introduced the all-inclusive plan on Oct. 1, 2012, and it has been very well received, with 40 percent of our guests now choosing it," explained Mary Pinto, the Marketing Manager of Grand Lucayan. "We saw the trend toward all-inclusives, and we knew we had to offer this to our guests in order to remain competitive in the marketplace."

The resort has had a "strong season" so far and it will be launching a series of offers and promotions to encourage tourists to book holidays in the Bahamas this year, such as the year-round all inclusive rate of £110 per person, per night.

Pinto added: "We hope to offer an air incentive package through the Ministry of Tourism."

The Bahamas hotel's facilities include 90,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor function space; nine restaurants serving gourmet local and international cuisine; a tennis school with private and group lessons for holidaymakers of all ages; a tranquil spa; a golf course; stylish bars; four swimming pools; and access to the Treasure Casino.

The Bahamas is an idyllic Caribbean nation made up of a collection of beautiful islands such as Grand Bahama, Berry Islands, Acklins, Mayaguana, and Crooked Island. The main island of Grand Bahama is home to unique pink sand beaches created from fractured seashell mixed with sand; an underwater limestone cave system; lush botanical gardens; and stunning nature reserves.

In the Bahamas travellers can go snorkelling or scuba diving in turquoise ocean waters; visit historic sites such as the Pompey Museum of Slavery and Emancipation; go on dolphin-watching trips; or take part in fun water activities including sailing, kayaking, jet skiing and deep sea fishing.
